Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides, top
of backguard and the drawer front.
Clean these with soap and water or
a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening
under the right rear surface unit.
This area could become hot during oven use.
It is normal for steam to come out of the
vent and moisture may collect underneath
when the oven is in use.
The vent is important for proper air
circulation.
Never block this vent.
Oven Shelves
All oven shelves may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Gray porcelain-coated oven shelves may
remain in the oven during the self-
cleaning cycle without being damaged.
The shiny, silver-colored oven shelves
may remain in the oven during the self-
cleaning cycle, but they will lose their
luster and become hard to slide.
It will be necessary to grease all oven
shelf side edges with a light coating of
vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand
or in the oven. This will help maintain
the ease of sliding the shelves in and
out of the oven.
